Not sure if this is the one but it might give you a starting point:
Aase, D.M., Jason, L.A., Olen, B.D., Majer, J.M., Ferrari, J.R., Davis, M.I. and Virtue, S.M. (2009) ‘A longitudinal analysis of criminal and aggressive behaviors among a national sample of adults in mutual-help recovery homes’, Journal of Groups in Addiction & Recovery, 4(1/2), 82-91.
Also - attached is another article by Jason and colleagues in a similar study area. Hope this helps.
